Praying for Prodigal Children

If you're a parent, you never cease to be a parent, no matter the age of your child. And one of the biggest heartaches a Christian parent can have is watching their child walk away from following Christ. On this edition of Equipped with Chris Brooks, we will give some help, hope, and encouragement for parents of prodigal children.
